“They made entry into one of the residences on the property,” Dolson said. “One of the narcotics persons encountered a resident who was armed with a handgun inside the location, and a shooting occurred.”

It was the second fatal deputy-involved shooting in the county on Thursday morning. Shortly before 6 a.m., a man allegedly armed with a handgun was killed in a deputy-involved shooting in the 1100 block of West Arbutus Street in Compton. No deputies were injured.

The man, who was in his 20s, died at the scene, according to coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter. His name was withheld pending family notification. No deputies were injured.
